Double Espresso Chiaro

Double Espresso Chiaro is the Vertuo line's light double espresso, brewing 80ml of gentle, biscuity coffee at intensity 5. The 'Chiaro' (Italian for light or clear) in its name signals its position as the approachable option in the double espresso range, designed for drinkers who want a longer espresso experience without the dark-roast intensity of its Scuro counterpart.

The cup is defined by a soft biscuit note that runs throughout — like a digestive biscuit or a mild shortbread — accompanied by cereal warmth and a mild, easygoing finish. The body is light at 2, the bitterness minimal at 2, and the acidity moderate at 3, creating a cup that feels effortless to drink. The 80ml volume provides enough liquid for a satisfying mini-cup that sits between espresso and a full mug.

Double Espresso Chiaro is ideal for mid-morning or afternoon when you want more than a single shot but less than a full mug. Its light character makes it a versatile base for flavored syrups, and its 80ml volume is perfect for a medium-sized latte. It is the double espresso for people who think double espressos are too intense — proof that bigger can also be gentler.
